I built a small team of AI agents
Today I built something that still feels strange to say out loud: a small team of AI agents to help run my own system. Each one has a name, a charter, and a single area it’s accountable for.
The first recruits are:
- Nadia (Chief of Staff)
- Gautam (Chief Engineer)
- Roger (Senior Engineer)
- HeeraMai (Curator)
Nadia routes the work, Roger builds, Gautam reviews, and HeeraMai keeps things honest.
I must say, it is quite exciting to have agents that are named.
All four of them are people I have worked with in the past and are excellent at what they do, so it is very easy for me to remember them and invoke them wherever their help is needed across the system.
If you haven’t yet, do write a markdown file which captures the job description of a particular role you wish the agent to do.
Claude always starts a fresh session whenever that agent gets a job to be done, and that usually means the best output from Claude.
Also, having an output from one agent get reviewed by another does help plug holes that the first missed.
Will cover more details on how to set up agents, test them, and their benefits in a longer essay in future.
